July 12, 2018 – Maas Search Returns to Annan

As we close in on the 30th anniversary of Lisa Maas’ disappearance, we are actively digging at a number of sites. Today we dug up a well in close vicinity of the house in Annan where Lisa was allegedly seen leaving in her vehicle at around 4:30 a.m. on July 18, 1988. As far as we know, the well has never been investigated by police. We also dug up a cement pad which ground-penetrating radar indicated as a location of interest. While we did not find anything significant at this location, it is another step closer in the search for the remains of Lisa Maas.

We wish to thank everyone who helped search for Terry over the last few weeks. We covered a lot of ground, both on foot and in the water, and viewed hours of CCTV footage to try and track down his whereabouts. In the end, Terry was located in the Owen Sound harbour by member Nick Oldrieve with the assistance of Bill Bolton of Advanced Tactical Training Search and Rescue out of Kitchener. This was not the ending that we wanted but we are glad that we could help bring Terry back home. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

March 31, 2018 – Team from Please Bring Me Home begins looking into disappearance of Joseph Moore

We are now officially looking into the missing persons case of Joseph Moore from Kincardine. Joe was last seen on October 31, 2012.

During that day, he was seen hanging around the Davidson Centre in Kincardine, Ontario. At the time, he was living at Princess Court on Princess Street. Upon a search of his home, no evidence was found that Joe was planning on leaving. Approximately a year after Joe went missing, a black coat washed up just north of Boiler Beach, at the end of Bruce Avenue. It has not been confirmed that this was Joe’s coat, however, the family believes it matches a coat that Joe was wearing around the time he went missing.

If you have any information about this case please submit a tip to Crime Stoppers or this website.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Nolan Panchyshyn with the news that he has been found deceased.

We want to thank everyone who sent in tips to our website, ‪pleasebringmehome.com‬. One of the tips submitted through our website assisted police in locating Nolan, and for that, we are thankful.

The dedication and continued pleas for help from Nolan’s family and friends, along with the hard work of the police services involved, brought this young man home.

The police should be commended for their dedication, and we are hopeful that the legal system finds justice for Nolan.

We truly hoped it would be a different outcome. Please keep his family in your thoughts.
